Celebrating International Cat Day with one of our own — Chance! 🐱
Thanks to our Internal Medicine team, he’s living his best, healthiest life.

We’d love to see your feline friends — share a photo in the comments so we can celebrate them too! ❤️

Happy to all who are celebrating! At Veritas, we’re shining a light on Chance, a loveable cat that Briana, internal medicine lead at AVSG Internal Medicine & Emergency/Critical Care, adopted a few years ago.

Chance kept getting passed over at the shelter because he was sick with an upper respiratory infection. Briana nursed him back to health only for him to get sick once more. With the help of two AVSG doctors, Chance’s condition was diagnosed, managed and treated. He’s now back to perfect health!
